We are honored to welcome Jim Manico during his European Tour in the Netherlands, Belgium and France.

Overview

Apart from OWASP's Top 10, most OWASP Projects are not widely used and understood. In most cases this is not due to lack of quality and usefulness of those Document & Tool projects, but due to a lack of understanding of where they fit in an Enterprise's security ecosystem or in the Web Application Development Life-cycle.

This course aims to change that by providing a selection of mature and enterprise ready projects together with practical examples of how to use them.

The course will be very practical where demonstration and hands-on exercises will be provided for the tools covered.

If you are interested in participating in the hands on portion of the course, please bring a laptop.

Abstract Title: "The Ghost of XSS Past, Present and Future. A Defensive Tale"

This talk will discuss the past methods used for XSS defense that were only partially effective. Learning from these lessons, will will also discuss present day defensive methodologies that are effective, but place an undue burden on the developer. We will then finish with a discussion of future XSS defense mythologies that shift the burden of XSS defense from the developer to various frameworks. These include auto-escaping template technologies, browser-based defenses such as Content Security Policy, and Javascript sandboxes such as the Google CAJA project and JSReg.
